Supplements

The Tanzanian and Kenyan Governments are proposing increases to park fees, which may be imposed at short notice. We shall notify you if and when this happens, and regret that the costs of this governmental action will need to be passed on to you.
Some parks have started to impose “Professional Lens Fees”. They can be from $200 to $800. This is considered a cost outside of the safari price and is not the responsibility of Gustafson Photo Safari. Rather than charge clients this fee that may or may not be imposed by the game parks, we recommend that clients have these funds available in the event that they are imposed.

Tips

Tipping of hotel staff, porters etc is at the client’s discretion. Tipping of the driver guides is mandatory. Guidance on tip amounts will be provided in the tour joining instructions.
